Teachings of Awliya
Posted January 14th, 2006 by 'abdGrand Mufti of Pakistan, Mufti Mohammad Shafii’ ra, senior khalifa of Hakeemul Ummat ra writes:
“The narratives regarding the senior Awliya Allah fall under three categories;
- Those regarding their kashaf & karamat (unveiling and miracles)
- Those related to their higher levels of ibadah (worship) and piety.
- Finally, their advice and instruction for improvement to general Muslims.
From all these it is this third thing that the general Muslims have to read and learn with utmost emphasis. This is because it is essence of the teachings of Awliya. It is the most effective medicine for betterment of Muslims.”
